Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1887-01-25

tilic of official etiquette was strietly
observed; the Clerk of the Board oil
Regents, NJ. d. Noteware, appear.
ing at the bar of the Senate with
the report. 1t is formidable doe
ument of nearly forty closely writ
ten pages and includes the 6nan-
cial exhibits, engravings of the new
building, diagrams of the various
floors and the reports of Professors
Willis and McCammen. Regent
Fl. G.. Shaw, who has been IN Car
son during the last week, has been
engaged IN it's preparation. The
Report covers all the transactions
of the Board during the years 1855
and 1886. The thoroughness with
which this branch Of the public
business has been DISCHARGED is re-
vealed IN every line of this inter
estlnG State paper; probably one of
the ablest ever written In Nevada,
as well as a model of polished die
ton. The operations connected
with the transfer of the University
from Elko to Reno are given in de-
tail and many valuable suggestions
are submitted for the conduct of
the institution in future. Among
the recommendations are that ten
additional acres be purchased, that
the building be completed, the
grounds be improved. that one
more teacher be added to the Aea-
demic Department and that De
partment of Mechanics be estab-
lished. These additions to the
curriculum, the Regents claim, can
be provided at an annual expendI-
ture of $4,000.
The proposal to establish a Nor
NAL School as a part of the Uuiver-
sity is claimed to be uncenstitu-
tienal also the proposition to in
crease the number of Regents.
The action of the Board in advanc-
Jag the price of all State lands
to streams of water is
vigorously defended; the Board
claiming that it has thereby added
to the State School Fund nearly
$1,000 which would not have been
there but for the land order of
the Regents. Land Register
Preble is charged with scant off
cial courtesy toward the Board and
with carrying out its order IN only
a perfunctory manner. The Board
claims that if the legislature dele
gates the power to any body to fix
the price 1T should either remain
with the Regents or be vested in
the State Board of Education, as
the only interests directly affected
by the exercise eff this power are
those connected with the admins
tration of educational affairs. The
report suggests that all the legIsla-
ton adopted since the State was
in respect to the appor-
appropriation of the in
terest on the School and Uniyers
ity Funds is unconstitutional. An
to the organic law is
desired so as to empower the Re
gents to accept gifts, bequests or
for the exclusive use
of the University. A delicately
implied rebuke for the present
Governor and State Treasurer is in
volved in the statement, contrary
to the official message of the fermer
that quorum has always been
present at every meeting of the
Board, regular or special, and in
the statement regarding the Treas
urer that the first knowledge pos
Sc, sed by the Board Of the redemp-
ton of $4,000 worth of Nevada
State bonds belonging to the Uni
. ersity was conveyed to them
year later, only in the TreaSurer's
annual rerort. Brimful of sugges-
lions and fortified throughout with
facts on record the REGENTS Re-
port will likely, when printed, prove
the most readable document Of the
Thirteenth Session.
